On Czechoslovakia and satirical cartoons

For someone who claims an advantage over his rival on foregin policy and ‘how the world works’, John McCain sure lets slip a few embarassing gaffes. For the second time in two days, he referred to the country of ‘Czechoslovakia’, which as the reader might recall, does not exist any more.

In view of the above, the Seattle Intelligencer cartoon of an ol’ droolin’ forgetful McCain seems apt.

Ok, I guess that was unkind. So, to balance it, here’s the now notorious New Yorker cartoon of Obama to which the above was a response.

For the record, I think both cartoons are hilarious. Unfortunately, the politically correct folks and the reverential supporters will not agree.
